Jodi-FL Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 what advice do you have in dealing with him? he's extra clingy/doesn't want anyone but me/cries at the littlest things. he doesn't seem to be sick. he's been this way for about a week. i'm having a total hysterectomy with removal of definately my right ovary (orange size cyst on it) and possibly my left with anterior and posterior repairs and a bladder sling surgery too. i won't be able to lift him for 2 months at least (he weighs about 35 lbs). and did i mention my big kids are all enrolled for the first time this year and will be gone from aug. 18th on? i can't imagine how i'm going to deal with him all day by myself without being able to pick him up. especially if he continues to be this fussy. any and all help appreciated! jodi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammy Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I think you really need someone to come over and help. The more 'work' you do....the longer it will take to heal. Do you have any friends or relatives that can come over? Tammy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelli in TN Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Tammy is right, you are going to have to have some help. I know this sounds awful but could he go to a mother's day out program if nobody is available to help you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TammyinTN Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 You must take care of you! Hire someone to help you...it will be worth every dime. Hope you have a smooth surgery and recovery! :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiver0f10 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 How about a mother's helper for a few hours in the mornings? Is there a home school teen nearby who could come over in the afternoons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
